More Love for Mike Mills

Mike Mills of 17th Street Bar & Grill fame has another feather to stick in his cap -- though he'll have to wait a few weeks to learn exactly how big that feather will be.

The September issue of Bon Appétit -- in my mailbox today -- features 17th Street in an article entitled "America's Top Restaurants." The magazine scoured the country to find the best restaurants in six populist categories: pizza, steak, tacos, hamburgers, fried chicken and ribs. The article names three finalists in each category. As you might expect, 17th Street is a finalist for its ribs. The winners in each category will be announced August 18 on a Food Network special hosted by Alton Brown. Which means that it should be watchable.
